Ride with Us Aboard the Inter-Island Ferry!
The Inter-Island Ferry Authority offers daily year-round passenger and vehicle service between our Ketchikan and Hollis, Alaska ports.
The roundtrip originates from Hollis each morning at 8 a.m. and leaves Ketchikan at 3:30 p.m. each afternoon. The one-way ferry ride is 36 miles long and the run time of each sailing is three hours.
We sail every day except New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Ketchikan is located on Revillagigedo Island, and Hollis is located on Prince of Wales Island.
Hollis connects to all major towns on the island by road, and Ketchikan is Alaska’s southern-most city in Southeastern Alaska.
For your comfort, the M/V Stikine and M/V Prince of Wales have an observation lounge, reading room, café, children’s play area and solarium.
One of the Top 5 Things to Do on Prince of Wales Island
Soothing
It may not be as quick as flying but it is restful. Just sit back and enjoy the view, walk in fresh air, have a nap. It is typically quiet, good snacks (I've not tried a full meal). I usually enjoy the trip so much that I almost regret arriving!

Great way to get to Prince of Wales
Love traveling to Ketchikan this way or back to Prince of Wales. The staff is professional and courteous! And the gallery is the the best! Nothing like a big meal to start or finish the day then go up front to take a nap! Keep it up!

Superb experience
Very nice views from the forward lounge. The crew were professional, clean cut, and knew their jobs. Multiple play areas on board for kids. Bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. Food from the snack bar was good and reasonably priced for Alaska.

Comfortable, reliable transportation
As a resident of Prince of Wales Island, I rely on the Inter-Island Ferry for transportation to and from Ketchikan. At certain times of the year - it's the only thing going. The staff and crew are nice people who do their best to make your journey comfortable and safe.
